It's the evening of March 13, 2013. The whole world eagerly awaits to know the name of the new Pope after the white smoke. There he is: Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Almost 11 years have passed since the election of Pope Francis "taken from the end of the world," and today we can "count" his first 4,000 days of pontificate. Days filled with words "for the last," appeals for peace and climate, smiles, and messages full of hope. Before the conclave, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires had not attracted much media attention outside his homeland. He was well known among Catholic circles, however, having already had good chances of succeeding the late Pope John Paul II in 2005. But the position went to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who became Pope Benedict XVI. Today, many Vatican experts still struggle to truly frame Francis's papacy, always balancing between a familiar, reassuring image and some elusive aspects of his thinking. But there is one thing everyone can agree on: Pope Francis is different. Bergoglio, already unique for being the first non-European pope since the 8th century, began to make waves when he chose his papal name. While many popes have spoken with admiration of St. Francis of Assisi, who preached the necessity for Christians, especially clergy, to emulate Jesus by living in poverty and respecting nature, no pope had ever honored him before by taking his name. The choice of the name was immediately seen as a very specific signal of the approach the new pope would take in his papacy.
